just look at how Actiblizz gutted the Diablo franchise with that crap...

So D2 was 9/10 but D3 was 3/10 because... players did NOT have to click on every fucking single gold pile to pick them up?? LMFAO

You act like you're in a rush to get somewhere, yet you're talking about a video game to waste time, on a game forum, wasting time.

And you clearly don't understand my point. As the other poster said... 2019 (but that's gaming communities in general these days).

Get spoon fed anything and everything, goble it all down and then complain there's not enough to do, or its now boring, make more, but make it easier and less time consuming... because your time is clearly so important and so is your forum Epeens at the end of the day.

The only really complaint anyone should have these days against most devs, is the sellout behavior at the slightest bit of success, leading to share holders and profit based decisions. All modern game houses are currently suffering this. Even look at the Epoch Kickstart, buggy as shit, very dated graphics and core, poor story and animation and already their supporter page is plaster in $100-1000 mtx supporter packs. Wtf? Game isn't even on Beta yet.

Point is the changes aren't for you they are for the money. Regardless of what 4.0 brings, and that's why Diablo got gutted to a now mobile game; to make money for Activision. That was the point friend.

If 4.0 doesn't allow us to set up the delve azurite autoloot for currency items, low-mid value orbs and scrolls, then I'm done with PoE.
This has already been the most bleh league ever, they need to bring a lot to the table to keep me playing, and if the minimum QoL of autolooting isn't there, well I just go play whatever else there is.

I'm just completely done with clicking a billion items
to loot like a fucking tool.
Absolutely no debate, there should be autoloot for most orbs and scrolls and other basic meta currency loot.
Suck it in like a vacuum with a nametag that fades out in a static position where the loot was, or flies to a corner of our choice stacking and fading so we can get a glimpse of what we picked up.

With THIS much shit in the game, even with loot filter on, players are spending more time stopping to pick up loot than actually playing.

Heh, Sekiro literally had that vaccuum mechanic that suck up all loot.

I think there can be a compromise in the middle. I would like that currency of similar types are collected instantaneously, this helps a lot in lab chests, memory rewards, harbinger shards. This way you don't need to click spam ONE by ONE for all of them. Picking things up by clicking is a core part of ARPG but surely there can be a middle ground to keep that element but make life much easier for players.

+aoe loot currency.
+AH like console users have.
+in game price check tool.
+Delve is free or more easy to get in.
+ 4.0 add new exile.
+passive tree 20% larger.
+unique item special stats can be stored and added to rare gear, no more forced use certain unique at end game.

Glad you're not in charge... wouldn't play your game.

Way too early to tell. But one thing is for sure, Speed Racer/Shooter PoE looks to be here to stay forever. Chris made that plainly clear in his GDC presentation. GGG is after maximum player counts to have maximum mtx sales and thus we make PoE into a shooter/racer style game to get millions of twitch game junkies to play. Then we keep them hooked by way of the race reset every 13 weeks. It won't matter what the league mechanic is as much as the ladder and economy reset so the game junkies can race to 100 again (they will play whatever the meta builds are for that league).

What a terrible way to see our once beloved ARPG go. Strategy and role playing is out. The smash and dash race to 100 is all the matters. As long as TencentGGG can see that the player numbers are there then that's all good for them.

Goodbye old PoE, we will always miss you, sniff.  :(

I will say this reflects my sentiments exactly.

I carry no animosity that GGG has found their financial niche with this, but I do carry a lot of sadness that the standard loot-based ARPG seems to be a dying breed. It's my genre, and it seems to be fading.

Character model and equipment remake. Every item is unique now, equipped, in the inventory and on the ground.

Double character classes with gender flipped versions which have their own set of three Ascendancies. Heard you like to make builds, so we doubled them.

All characters have voice acting through all acts appropriate to the current state of the lore. Some voice actors couldn't come back so we had to replace them, sorry.

Now introducing clothing MTX for your character models.

We know about character models but what else?
Modern engine with better camera would be cool. Lets dream more abut physic involving gameplay ...
Reducing the clutter on the screen should be a priority (both loot and graphic effects).
Make looting and party great again!

New engine. Of course this will never happen because releasing cosmetics is more profitable.

Well, it does run on the PS4 now, so there must be a new engine, since PS4 can't do DX. Will they use that engine for the PC? Probably not... although it would also open PoE for Mac and Linux (native, that is, not in Wine).

They have a modular engine that they're updating constantly. This complaint makes no sense.

The problems caused by bloated netcode and dynamic resource loading are not something that will be magically fixed by "suddenly, new engine!" The engine in 2019 already works almost nothing like the engine in 2014. What you should be asking for is for the future engine updates to focus on specific problem areas, like whatever part of it causes that massive intervention lag on most people's machines.


Anyway, all I want in 4.0 is fully-voiced exiles. Not just act 5 through 10 but also exile voice acting for all zana questline-related encounters.

I looked forward to 4.0 when they may finally add multiplayer to the game, & upgrade the Toons models to groundbreaking PS3 level details.
